Making a MMF2 Mail??

[GabSt]

I dont know how,
but would it be possible of making a mail opening program, like Outlook?

[aidmm]

Yes. There is an Email object in MMF2 Developer.

[GabSt]

Oh, Ok... I didnt know. But what kind of email providers can you use it with?

[SEELE]

you can use any socketing protocols thou various extensions in mmf2 so potentially any MTP is possible.

Specifically The e-mail object allows your applications to send and receive e-mail through SMTP and POP3 as well as check whether e-mail addresses are in a valid format.

Gabst --- If you just want to open the email form on the users computer pass an "emailto:" link using the Vitalize Plug In object.

Hi,

Is there some kind of tutorial available for this object. I would like to use it for my students to have them transfers files created with the RTF object to my email, but not everyone has the same SMTP and POP3 server adresses from their home PCs and I don't want to make the have to configure it at runtime since they won't know what to enter anyways. I want to use a hard-coded protocol that will always send the email to my adress when they click send.

There is a basic example for sending mails with .net inside MMF (using Greyhill's excellent .net extension). This means the user will need the .net framework though (can't remember the exact needed version).

@Jeff Isnt it just a Mailto: command?

[GabSt]

So, with the vitalize object, you could view, and forward email?

To be fair the Email Object is pretty self explanatory. If you can setup a mail client (thunderbird, outlook) then you're half way there. Just connect to the mail server with the mail object and set the email parameters to compose a mail and send...
